Copper sulfate, also known as cupric sulfate or copper (II) sulfate, is a chemical compound with the formula CuSO4. It exists as a bright blue or green crystalline solid at room temperature. Copper sulfate is commonly used in various applications, including:

• Agriculture: It’s utilized as a fungicide and herbicide to control fungal diseases on crops and aquatic weeds in ponds.
• Chemistry: It’s employed in chemical reactions and laboratory experiments.
• Electroplating: Copper sulfate solutions are used in electroplating processes to deposit copper onto surfaces.
• Animal nutrition: It’s sometimes included in animal feed as a source of dietary copper, which is essential for proper growth and health in animals.
• Pest control: It’s used to control algae growth in swimming pools and water treatment systems.
• Analytical chemistry: Copper sulfate is used in various analytical techniques for detecting other substances, such as proteins.
• Textile industry: It’s used as a mordant in dyeing textiles to help fix the dye onto the fabric.

However, it’s important to handle copper sulfate with care as it can be toxic to humans and animals if ingested in large amounts. It can also be harmful to aquatic life if it enters water bodies in excessive concentrations. Therefore, it should be used with caution and according to safety guidelines. Click for MSDS
